The Debt Of Dictators
Description
This powerful documentary exposes the practice of multinational banks of lending billions of dollars to brutal dictators throughout the world. Viewers are transported to Argentina, South Africa, and the Philippines for a first-hand look at how the incurred debt impacts daily life as essential social services are cut, resulting in restricted access to food, water, electricity, schooling, and health care. Human rights activists, including representatives of the Jubilee Campaign, provide commentary on and argument in favor of forgiving these debts.
